Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1352: Chapter 438: Sixth-Rank Registration System, Moving Breakthrough, Direction_3

"Wow, my lord, you are amazing!"

Su Xing’er jumped up with joy, almost clapping her hands.

Xia Hong turned to look at the three Su Jing brothers and found them full of gratitude, obviously planning to bow to express their thanks. Feeling uninterested, he waved his hand and said, "Alright, you guys go pack up first!"

People tend to be somewhat cheap, and Xia Hong was no exception.

As the Great Xia Lord, he had felt emotions like gratitude, fanaticism, and reverence too many times in Xia City, so he was completely used to them. Although he understood why the Su Jing brothers always reacted this way, he was somewhat immune to them.

On the contrary, Su Xing’er, because of her young age and naive nature, having spent over four months together, showed almost no fear towards him, often asking him questions, and occasionally being playful. This kind of interaction, not overly disrespectful but naturally casual, coupled with the inadvertent dependency, reminded him a bit of his daughter Yu Yao.

Su Xing’er was only fifteen years old, merely eight years older than his daughter Xia Yuyao. Due to love for one, love for all, compared to the usually respectful Su Jing brothers, he naturally had more affection for Su Xing’er.

"128 days, today should be the fourth day of January in the tenth year of Great Xia, coinciding with the Cold Yuan Festival. I haven’t returned in half a year, the two little ones must miss me, right?"

Indeed, it’s been half a year since he left Xia City, and it was Xia Hong’s first time doing so. Although he wasn’t homesick so quickly, he did have some concerns in his heart for his six-year-old son and daughter.

"Whew... let’s not think too much, the injury has healed, it’s time to formally see Cai Qiu’s strength!"

Xia Hong suppressed his concerns, pondered for a moment, then raised his head to observe the four siblings gathered by the campfire roasting meat, smiling and saying, "Three superior war bodies, the strength of 2 stalactites, is quite enough. Next, it’s your turn."

Su Xing’er noticed Xia Hong’s gaze and quickly spoke, "My lord, please don’t think I am slow, Xing’er can try to break through tonight."

Xia Hong chuckled and shook his head, "I don’t think you’re slow..."

Then he pointed to the basin of Soaring Snake Blood he had just collected and continued, "Your skin membrane is almost at its limit, ordinary beast blood is useless now, use this Soaring Snake Blood next, 2000 pounds should be enough to push through."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three Su Jing brothers froze, realizing that Xia Hong had hunted the Beast King-level Soaring Snake tonight for Su Xing’er to aim for top-grade battle body qualification, their faces quickly became full of emotion.

Needless to say, Su Xing’er was even more moved, as she looked at Xia Hong, her nose suddenly twitched, and soon tears ran down her cheeks.

"My lord... my lord... you are so good to Xing’er, Xing’er fears she will never be able to repay you in this lifetime, sobbing..."

Su Xinger’s cries were highly infectious, making the pupils of the Su Jing brothers slightly red. However, they resisted tears strongly, knowing Xia Hong disliked being bowed to, thus they just respectfully bent their bodies.

Su Jing, the eldest brother, raised his head with firm determination in his eyes and said solemnly, "My lord’s grace, our four siblings will certainly not repay it in this lifetime. I, Su Jing, along with my brothers and sister, swear here, whatever the lord commands in the future, even if it means death, we four will comply without a word, in this life and the next, should we violate this oath, may we four siblings remain eternally sunk at the bottom of the Ice Abyss."

"Su Xu, like elder brother, shall forever remain at the bottom of the Ice Abyss if we violate this oath."

"Su Zhi..."

"Xing’er, like the three brothers, wishes to serve by the lord’s side forever."

Upon hearing the siblings’ sincere oath, Xia Hong’s eyes first flashed briefly, then he shook his head again, waving his hand, saying, "You’re not strong enough now, focus on cultivation first!"

Without exaggeration, the resources Xia Hong had invested in the four siblings over these four months would cause quite a stir in Xia City.

It would be impossible not to have any motive.

Thinking of Qing Valley’s special location and Cai Qiu’s six-class system, a trace of darkness flashed in Xia Hong’s eyes. Seeing that the meat on the rack was cooked, he directly invited the four to eat with a smile.

The blood and meat of the Beast King-level Green Jade Soaring Snake naturally contained immense energy, even a small bite was enough to physically strain the Earth-digging Realm. Fortunately, Su Jing and the others had already broken through, and although Su Xing’er hadn’t yet, she possessed a basic strength of nearly 150,000 pounds, quite comparable to an ordinary Cold Resistance Level, so she could withstand it.

The four quickly finished eating the blood meat, with Su Jing and the others hurriedly heading to the cave entrance to practice and disperse the excited blood and energy within their bodies. Su Xing’er, however, took two pounds of Soaring Snake Blood and went into the simple wooden partition inside the cave to continue reshaping her skin membrane.

"Ah..."

Using Beast King-grade blood to reshape the skin membrane naturally came with more pain, and soon faint cries of agony from Su Xing’er were heard from the wooden partition.

However, Xia Hong was accustomed to it, he didn’t waste time and immediately sat down, closed his eyes, and began cultivation.

Approximately two hours later, when daylight broke outside, Su Xinger’s cries in the wooden partition began to ease somewhat, and shortly after, she could be heard running out with immense delight.

"148700, an instant increase of 700 pounds, that’s fantastic!"

Su Jing and the others had already been waiting outside, upon hearing their sister’s words, their faces naturally lit up with joy.

"Indeed, the better the talent, the more beast blood needed. The intensity of this Beast King-grade blood far surpasses high-grade beast blood. If I had used it to reshape my skin membrane at the limit of the Earth-digging Realm, I estimate I wouldn’t be able to manage even a pound. Xing’er could actually use two pounds at once."
